In http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#dom-window-close it is forbidden to close browsing contexts using the close() method when they are opened by a user-initiated action. We think it would be better if that were allowed, with the restriction that WebKit has, namely that once the user navigates the newly opened browsing context (and gains a history), it can no longer be closed.
